Buying through The Trade Desk

LiveIntent’s The Trade Desk (TTD) integration allows you access to exclusive email newsletter inventory. Below are some best practices to help get you started.

Creating the Inventory Contract

• Navigate to “Inventory” and select “First-Party Contracts.”.

• Fill in the “Name”, “Start Date”, “End Date”, and “Logo URL” and click “Next.”

• Select “LiveIntent” as the “Supply Vendor.”

• Fill in the “Deal Code” and Floor **Provided by your LiveIntent representative.

• Select “Next.”

Please note: If LiveIntent is not available as a Supply Vendor you MUST reach out to your TTD rep in order to enable LiveIntent as a Supply Vendor.

Please note: If your floor is below $1, you will need to include a “0” before the decimal. If the deal code includes an ‘LI’ prefix, please match this in the platform.

• Click “Select One” under “Delivery Profile” and associate your corresponding advertiser so the deal can be leveraged.

• Select “Complete” to finalize the private contract.

  • Leveraging any Pre-Bid Brand Safety tools 

Creatives

• If brand safety tags are in use, 1×1 monitoring tags can be leveraged.
